Wake me when it's finished.

Don't expect to ever get woken up. Software like this[0] is never finished.
There's always going to be one more feature to add and another one to tweak.
And this will never end. As new programming team members are added, and old
ones leave, there will always be new ideas driving the changes. Heck, some
of those changes might even be made at the request of the users.


[0] Heck, even the "Hello world" program is rarely ever finished. Someone,
somewhere, will probably want to make it display in a fancy window as a 3D
graphic object with some random rotation around all 3 axis. And then they'll
probably want to link the movement to whatever noise happens to be emanating
from their sound card.
